Most people go for a massage to relax – not to be scared witless.

But anyone daring to step through the doors of the Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa in Jakarta will experience just that if they opt for the python massage.

The Indonesian snake spa offers a unique massage treatment which involves having several pythons placed on the customer’s body.

The movement of the twisting snakes and the adrenaline triggered by fear is said to have a positive impact on the human metabolism.

Brave clients pay about £30 for the privilege of having the snakes crawl all over their bodies.

But don’t worry too much – all are the reptiles used are said to be non-venemous.

People are apparently queuing up for the unconventional therapy. But it’s not a patch on Israel’s Barak’s Spa which not only offers snake massages but also places scampering mice and rats on people’s feet to help relieve the stresses of the day.
